JAPANESE IRIS 
The blooms of the Japanese Iris are 6 to 10 inches 
in diameter and coming into bloom late in June and 
throughout early July, they fill a space in the season 
when top notch blooms are scarce. They will grow 
in almost any soil that does not become too dry in 
Summer, but they prefer a warm, sunny location. 
They may be planted throughout the Fall, but 
if planted after October 1, should be freely mulched 
after the ground freezes to prevent heaving.
